Best Romance Books of 2018

Hello! First post of 2019 here. I thought 2018 was a great year for romance books and these happen to be my TOP six books, in no order. I couldn't just pick one. These books were all released this year and happen to be of my favorite contemporary romances. It made me realized that I didn't really read any other genres this year...? Which was rather disappointing because I love reading historical romance and paranormal romance.

Release Blitz: Royally Yours by Emma Chase

Princess Lenora Celeste Beatrice Arabella Pembrook had an unusual childhood. She was raised to be a Queen—the first Queen of Wessco.

It’s a big deal.

When she’s crowned at just nineteen, the beautiful young monarch is prepared to rule. She’s charming, clever, confident and cunning.

What she isn’t…is married. It’s her advising council’s first priority.

It’s what Parliament is demanding, and what her people want.

Lenora has no desire to tie herself to a man—particularly one who only wants her for her crown. But compromises must be made and royals must do their duty.

Even Queens. Especially them.

**

Years ago, Edward Langdon Richard Dorian Rourke, walked away from his title and country. Now he’s an adventurer—climbing mountains, exploring jungles, going wherever he wants, when he wants—until family devotion brings him home.

And a sacred promise keeps him there. To Edward, the haughty, guarded little Queen is intriguing, infuriating…and utterly captivating. Wanting her just might drive him mad—or become his greatest adventure.

**

Within the cold, stone walls of the royal palace—mistrust threatens, wills clash, and an undeniable, passionate love will change the future of the monarchy forever.

Every dynasty has a beginning. Every legend starts with a story.

This is theirs.

Royally Yours by Emma Chase

Emma Chase's Royally Yours tells the love story of Queen Lenora and Edward Rourke. This was such a wonderful, sexy, and sweet story. It reminded me of Netflix's The Crown which I thought was really interesting and cool. This is still a lot more romantic though. While Royally Matched still remains my favorite in this series, I consider this second best even though I did sort of dragged my feet when I first started it. Lenora takes awhile to get used to because she can seem rather cold and unfeeling at times but it quickly changes after she meets Edward and eventually falls in love with him.

Edward is the type of hero who is both sweet and unbelievable sexy. Not only is he devoted to Lenora but he loves her desperately. The same can also be said of Lenora's feelings towards Edward. Their chemistry is off the charts hot. I'm not kidding when I say that I had heart palpitations the first time they decided to take things a step further. However, I do have to say that their union comes at the price of Lenora best friend and Edward's brother, Thomas. It broke my heart because Lenora's friendship with Thomas was so sad. They became friends because they were both lonely but his death also forged her into becoming the strong woman who will one day become queen and eventually Edward's wife.

In addition to being a super swoon-worthy romance, Royally Yours is essentially a prequel to the Royally series. Lenora's story is the beginning of everything. This is hers and Edward's dynasty and boy, is it an amazing one. The fact that we all know what will eventually happen in the future is incredible. It really makes you want to go back and read the entire series all over again! Who would have thought that Lenora would live long enough see the happily ever afters of her grandchildren. 

Anyway, I highly recommend this book. You won't be disappointed by Lenora's love story and the beginning of her dynasty!

Cover Reveal: The Son & His Hope by Pepper Winters

You thought you'd seen the last of Ren & Della's story? Well, it looks like we're getting a book for their son, Jacob Wild! Like his parent's story, I can tell Jacob and Hope's will be just as heartbreaking.

The Son & His Hope

Genre: Coming of Age Romance

“Things you should know about me from the very beginning:

I was born to true love, witnessed the destruction it causes, and vowed never to let such agony happen to me. I am not a story-teller like my father. I am not a writer like my mother. I am just a son—their son.

I am happy being alone.

And that is all I ever want to be.”

JACOB

The day he was born, Jacob learned his hardest and longest lesson.

It wasn’t a lesson a boy should learn so young, but from his earliest memories he knew where happiness lives, so does tragedy. Where love exists, so does heartbreak. And where hope resides, so does sorrow.

That lesson carved him from the kid to the teen to the man.

And nothing and no one could change his mind.

HOPE

I first met him when he was fourteen at a movie premiere of all places. A movie based on his parent’s life.

He was stoic, strong, suspicious, and secretive.

I was only ten, but I felt something for him. A strange kind of sorrow that made me want to hug and heal him.

I was the daughter of the actor hired to play his father.

We shared similarities.

I recognised parts of him because they were parts of me.

But no matter how many times we met. No matter how many times I tried.

He stayed true to his vow to never fall.

Cover Reveal: Ren & Della - The Ribbon Duet Box Set

I've been tasked with a mission for Pepper Winters and it looks like she'll be releasing a boxed set for Ren and Della's story! If you haven't read their books yet, you really should. Not only will it break your heart but you'll probably end up in tears by the end of it. Not the best way to recommend a series BUT TRUST ME, IT'S REALLY GOOD.

REN & DELLA: The Ribbon Duet Boxed Set

Genre: Coming of Age Romance

From New York Times Bestseller, Pepper Winters, comes her most poignant tale yet.

This edition contains both books: THE BOY & HIS RIBBON and THE GIRL & HER REN.

The complete RIBBON DUET.

“What do you do when you meet your soul mate? No wait…that’s too easy. What do you do when you meet your soul mate and have to spend a lifetime loving him in secret? I’ll tell you what you do. You lie.”

REN

Ren was eight when he learned that love doesn’t exist—that the one person who was supposed to adore him only cared how much he was worth. His mother sold him and for two years, he lived in terror. But then…he ran. He thought he’d run on his own. Turned out, he took something of theirs by accident and it became the one thing he never wanted and the only thing he ever needed.

DELLA

I was young when I fell in love with him, when he switched from my world to my everything. My parents bought him for cheap labour, just like they had with many other kids, and he had the scars to prove it. At the start, he hated me, and I could understand why. For years he was my worst enemy, fiercest protector, and dearest friend. But by the end…he loved me. The only problem was, he loved me in an entirely different way to the way I loved him. And slowly, my secret drove us apart.
